Having problems with your PC Desktops ?

I have a sony 400gb usb flash drive that i cant format, is there anyway to install an antivirus on this kind of flash memory?

Answers :

The drive is accessed when you plug into a PC correct? If it has its own Operating system then yes but I am pretty sure it is for file storage and the Anti Virus software on your PC can be used to scan the drive when it is plugged in to make sure there are no threats on it. Moist external storage drives are not self driven and require an Operating system to access them.

Tips for a great answer:

- Provide details, support with references or personal experience .
- If you need clarification, ask it in the comment box .
